He wrote a decent number of books aimed at kids. There are the Tiffany Aching books in Discworld for a start, as well as non discworld books like Only You Can Save Mankind or the Bromeliad books.

I wouldn't stop a 10yo from reading any of the discworld books if they're enjoying them, mind. There's lots to find funny anyway, and we all had to start building our "reference vocabulary" somewhere.

online-go.com is the closest I know of.

Just go to online-go.com in your preferred browser. It works great on mobile. There's a large collection of puzzles to do. Those are user submitted, which means the quality varies, but some people have put together some pretty good sets that work as tutorials for beginners.

OGS is the most popular server outside of Asia, and has a nice social side with chat rooms and... clubs? I don't remember their name for it, but you can join groups for finding teaching games, groups for people in your geographic region, etc.

I don't log on often these days, but I love teaching new players. Feel free to add me as a friend there (and maybe dm me here so I know to look). My name there is nomadfarmer.

You should. It's a fun drama that inspired a lot of people to pick up go when it came to Western audiences.

I always knew the world was secretly run by cat people

Amusingly, there's an issue with the app I use for youtube that means I'm stuck with a dubbed version in a language I don't speak.

The discipline is "mathematics." It's really not unreasonable that in some parts of the world, it got shortened to maths.

I use keepassdx which has an extension for working with Firefox. I use syncthing to copy the database file between my phone, laptop, and backup location.

Ha. Thanks for doing my homework for me. I honestly don't know what my original sources were... I've been aware of the existence of "brothel laws" for ages. I lived in a large intentional community (read: commune, but avoiding sexual connotations at least in a US context) for a long time and running afoul of brothel laws in the past was something I learned about there.
